<p>The UK Government is committed to increasing the amount of material we recycle
across both households and businesses. The UK recycling rate has increased from 41.2%
in 2010 to 44.9% in 2016 but we recognise that more needs to be done.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>In our Resources and Waste Strategy, due to be released this autumn,
we will outline our plans to increase recycling rates. We want to make it easier for
households and businesses to recycle. We also want to stimulate markets for secondary
materials to ensure there is a greater incentive to recycle. We will consider the
recommendations set out in the 2018 National Infrastructure Assessment on municipal
waste targets when composing the Strategy.</p><p> </p>
